The Cadence Academic Network helps build strong relationships between academia and industry, and promotes the proliferation of leading-edge technologies and methodologies at universities renowned for their engineering and design excellence.

A huge knowledge exchange platform for academia to network with industry. We are looking for academic speakers to talk about their research to the industry attendees at the Academic Track at CDNLive EMEA and Silicon Valley.

Cadence has also developed enhancements to the TSMC CoWoS reference flow. The new capabilities within the CoWoS refence flow enable designers to perform:

Integrated electromagnetic interference (EMI) analysis that enables analysis of the CoWoS system: Cadence is now offering an updated Sigrity EMI flow with automatic design merging, enabling integrated EMI analysis, as well as broadband-frequency-dependent S-parameter simulation, allowing for E/H-field analysis of the CoWoS system.

Static/dynamic IR analysis from a single environment: Voltus IC Power Integrity Solution now allows designers to do static/dynamic IR analysis across die and silicon interposers concurrently, while also analyzing power EM (dynamic/static) and signal EM (peak/RMS/average) for both dies and interposers within a single tool environment.

Thermal analysis across the CoWoS package, allowing accurate thermal runway predictions and reduced EM pessimism: The Voltus IC Power Integrity Solution and Sigrity PowerDC technology enable designers to do layer-based thermal analysis across the CoWoS package, which includes automated power map generation for all die within the solution and layer-based temperature map generation.

“We see a strong demand from both mobile and high-performance computing customers wanting to quickly deploy systems based on TSMC’s advanced packaging technologies,” said Tom Beckley, senior vice president and general manager of the Custom IC & PCB Group at Cadence. “Through our close working relationship with TSMC, we have completed TSMC InFO design flow and enhanced TSMC CoWoS reference flow, enabling our mutual customers to further shorten design and verification cycle times so they can get to market faster.”
